When using the default Dbase format, there is not enought datatypes for the fields. Infact there is no integers, just decimals, no auto-increment feature. If i try to change the default formatting of the fields, it refuses to accept the change. Has it been simplified this much?
Created attachment 39407 [details] The available datatypes
http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/basic_rules.html#one_per_issue Please submit a separate issue for the formatting problem. Thanks.
clu->eeeno: 1. dBase is a rather old, primitive and restricted database format - if you want an improvement like more datatypes etc. it can get incompatible with other applications which cannot handle such things - but feel free to write a 'feature enhancement' for your suggestion and if more people are interested in such an improvement it will maybe implemented 2. the topic with the refuse of formatting i cannot repro - may you add a more precise step by step description for that thx
.
sorry, wrong handling: like fs has written, the 'formatting thing' that i cannot repro deserve a seperate issue with a precise step by step description => eeeno: please do so, if this is still reproducable
the first part with the insufficent number of field types is no bug, rather a 'feature enhancement' that is send further to the requirements team for evaluation
set to 'new'
